UK nuclear fusion reactor sets new world record for energy output

Aging reactor sets new fusion energy record in last hurrah

The Joint European Torus (JET) facility retired after four decades of service, but not without achieving one final milestone.

European nuclear fusion test sets energy production record - National Zero

In a breakthrough experiment, European scientists used 0.21 milligrams of fuel in a nuclear fusion reaction to generate enough clean energy to power an American home for more than a day–roughly equivalent to 0.001% of the amount of fossil fuel needed to produce the same amount of electricity, according to the Guardian. Working at the Joint European Torus in England in December, scientists fused a fuel comprised of a pair of hydrogen isotopes, de…

Fusion reactor break world record in final experiment

The JET tokamak set a new world record for generating energy from nuclear fusion during its final experiment.

Scientists Have Made a Record-Setting Fusion Energy Breakthrough

“Beyond setting a new record, we achieved things we’ve never done before and deepened our understanding of fusion physics,” said one scientist.

Energie-Weltrekord bei Kernfusion – ein Haken bleibt

Ist Kernfusion die Zukunft der Energiegewinnung? Ein Weltrekord bringt überraschende Ergebnisse, die allerdings nicht nur positiv sind.

Clean energy could be 'closer than ever' after a nuclear fusion machine smashed a record

A UK-based nuclear fusion collaboration just produced a record amount of energy, a refreshing dose of good news in humankind’s quest for cleaner energy sources. The Joint European Torus facility, or JET, produced just over 69 megajoules of heat.Read more...
